I'm having problems building gcc 2.6.0 on my FreeBSD system
[FreeBSD 1.1.5.1(RELEASE) (GENERICAH) #0].
I used "./configure" to configure the distribution and
i386-unknown-freebsd was found to be the description of my
system (it is actually a 486).
I used the following command line to build the stage 2 compiler:
nice +20 make CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O" LANGUAGES="c c++ proto"
| & nice +20 tee .err2
Here is the end of the output of make:
stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -DIN_GCC -g -O -o xgcc gcc.o version.o obstack.o ` case "stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" in "cc") echo "" ;; esac `
rm -f SYSCALLS.c tmp-SYSCALLS.s
cat ./sys-types.h ./sys-protos.h > SYSCALLS.c
./xgcc -B./ -DIN_GCC -g -O -I./include -I. -I. -I./config -aux-info SYSCALLS.c.X -S -o tmp-SYSCALLS.s SYSCALLS.c

Stop.
All those errors are due to the presence of "wchar_t" in function
prototypes. It seems like the #include <stddef.h> directive in
SYSCALLS.c somehow doesn't produce a definition for wchar_t.
What could be the best way to correct that?
